Scope
Uploads, public links, accounts, and service operations.
What ImgJ is
ImgJ is an anonymous image hosting service. You can upload PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP images without creating an account. Uploaded images are made available through public direct links.
Information you provide
When you upload an image, the service receives the file, its media type, file size, and original file name so it can validate the upload and create a storage object. If you have an account, we store your email, a salted password digest, your account role, and account timestamps. Passwords are not stored in plain text.
Public image links
Uploaded images are stored under random object keys and served through public URLs. Anyone with a direct URL may view, download, copy, embed, or share the image.
Technical data and logs
The application, hosting provider, storage provider, CDN, browser, and security systems may process technical data such as IP address, user agent, request URL, referrer, timestamps, response status, and error diagnostics.
Cookies and tracking
Uploads remain available without an account. Signing in sets an essential HttpOnly cookie named imgj_session that lasts 24 hours and identifies your account. It is sent over HTTPS in production and is not available to page scripts. ImgJ does not use advertising cookies.
Signing out
Signing out removes the account cookie from your current browser. A copy of an issued sign-in token remains valid until its 24-hour expiry; individual tokens cannot be revoked immediately. Account changes take effect when a new token is issued.
Storage providers
ImgJ uses object storage to store uploaded images and generates short-lived signed upload URLs so your browser can send files to storage.
Image removal
If an uploaded image should be removed, provide the exact public URL or object path. ImgJ may remove images that appear unlawful, abusive, infringing, harmful, or inconsistent with the purpose of the service.
Children and sensitive content
ImgJ is not intended for children to upload personal information. Do not upload images containing personal data, identification documents, financial details, medical information, or private images of other people.
